Interpreter's Cabin

A log cabin originally built by the Pendry family on nearby Shippies Branch was moved into the park in 1973 and restored. Its oak logs and natural stone chimney have been chinked with clay, and its roof is made of hand-rived oak shingles. The cabin presently provides housing for the interpreter at Grayson Highlands. In riving shingles, a froe was struck with a short maul known as a froe-club, then forced down and twisted to split the shingle from the block.
